Purchasing mass detailing supplies will lead to this!!!!
Hey fellow AZer's-

Just wanted to display my custom "Dual Bucket Washing System. Recently started getting serious with buying mass quantities of everybody's recommendations of quality detailing supplies but it lead me to putting together this makeshift system...Some humor for today!

1) Furniture dolly-Harbor Freight Tools-$12.99
2) (2) Buckets-free from Pep Boys
3) (3)ft Poly rope-Home Depot-$1.59
4) (8) L-brackets-Home Depot-$6.99
5) (2) packs nuts/bolts-Home Depot-$1.99
About $25.00 total What do you all think? LOL

Very crafty! It may not look as fancy as the over priced bucket system you can buy but it sure looks like it can perform. Great work for only $25.

TLtrigirl - I'm thinking the rope is to pull the dolly around the car. It probably wouldn't be the best idea to push the dolly with one of the buckets since it can bend the L brackets.

effin genius!

Only thing that would suck is if your driveway is slanted, but that could be an easy fix!

vlnsanity-over priced is right and it performs just fine. You're correct about the rope and it especially helps when pulling is preferred to pushing when it comes to uneven concrete...

Hey Steven-the L brackets are positioned such that the buckets cannot shift outwards on all sides except of course the side where the buckets are touching each other. I believe it's very functional and stable.

If the driveway was slanted , you could put a brake on it similar to how baby strollers work.
Looks pretty good nice job .
